ReviveMed is a biotech start-up that analyses metabolomic data using artificial intelligence, which allows them to design new medical therapeutics.
Background
ReviveMed can distinguish similar mass metabolites and correlate them to drugs, protein effects and the outcomes of disease.[1] The company translates data from metabolites into therapeutic solutions.[2] ReviveMed is working on untreatable diseases which have shown a good chance of treatment.[1] The founder and CEO, Leila Pirhaji,[3] is one of the first to use large-scale metabolomic data to treat these diseases.[4][5] They secured $1.5 million in a seed round in 2018 and $200,000 at a Google machine learning competition.[1] Their technology was published in Nature Methods.[6] ReviveMed won the BioTech Award at the ExtremeTech Challenge 2018.[7]
Leila Pirhaji, ReviveMed founder, is an Iranian scientist and entrepreneur.[3] Pirhaji earned a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology from the University of Tehran in 2008 and a Master's degree in 2010.[8] She began working on metabolomics during her doctoral studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[1] She studied the interactions between proteins and metabolites.[1] During her PhD, she worked as an intern at Merck & Co.[8] She recognised that machine learning could be useful to analyse these interactions. Together with her advisor Ernest Fraenkel, Pirhaji founded ReviveMed.[1] She completed her PhD at MIT in 2016.[9][10]
